I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Well, since I'm here I guess I'll write something. I'm a bit of an eclectic. I am into all types of music, metal (heavy, thrash, progressive, grindcore, power, doom), classical, blues, etc..Nothing beats the thrill of live concerts, though. I'm around music more than almost anything else.

I'm a bit of a geek at times, I admit. I love Psychology, Philosophy, Photography, Art (Salvador Dali and a Pittsburgh artist named Ben Matthews), writing, reading, cooking, and just doing different things. I also love playing pool, and poker, etc. I basically try and cram as much things as I possibly can.

While we're in the neighborhood of things, I love food. Ravioli. Especially Beef. How can you not like Ravioli? Think about it. You have the best of what the world of Italian has to offer all in a wonderfully square shaped package. It's meat, it's sauce, it's a meal! Bon'Appetite! (Yes, the saying is French, I know. It's my page, so deal with it. Anything Italian, Japanese Food, Cheez-its and Chocolate Milk (heavenly!!), Cereal, Turkey Sandwich/Sub, Steak/Chicken + Rice, Milk, Chai Tea, Chocolate, Vanilla Mocha, Fresh Fish (grilled Swordfish, tuna, perch, etc).

For some reason or another I spend more time then I should thinking about: Moving into exile. Maybe my own private island. Moving somewhere new, creating a whole different life, of outcomes, talents, and the whole lot, or maybe winning the lottery, or what I would do if I were attacked by a band of scallywags. (Maybe not really. I just really wanted to find a way to use that word.)

Oh, and I fuckin' love sandwiches, cereal, and anything that goes with ketchup.


Sometimes I think about how much easier life would be, as a movie. Scripted. Outlined. At times corny, but, usually well acted. Full of drama, romance, tears, and pain; much like the world at large. Except, I don't get a script, or the appearance of compensation for a day well done. It's just all blood, sweat, and tears, and another day with a seemingly clueless director, and a cast full of idiots.
I've never had a super lot of friends, just close groups. I drink way to much caffeine sometimes. I have a great pain tolerance. I hate taking baths, just showers. I think I have unorthodoxly bad luck with most things. I'm clumsy, and graceful in an eclectic whore'ish mix. I like shopping. Sometimes I think I'm destined for greatness. Other days, I'm the cannon fodder for an insane ruler hell bent on destruction. I hated Pirates of the Caribbean, and Forrest Gump. I suck at board games, chess, and checkers. I can't dance for shit. I hate watching the news, it depressed me more so. I hate commercials on TV that are sexist. (Towards men or women). I think way too much sometimes. It's my double-edged sword.
"Adults are like a combination of sadness and phobias."
I make a gorgeous PB & JUFF. (Peanut Butter and Jelly/Fluff). I won't lie. I make a tasty sandwich. Admit it. Try it for yourself. You'll agree. It will be like having an amazing orgasm, only with a sandwich in your hand. Yes, it's that good. You laugh now, but, you'll be having sex with your boyfriend, and after you reach the point of no return, you'll think back and unknowingly chuckle out loud, "That Jae DOES makes a tasty sandwich."Your other will hear you, and in complete confusion he'll wonder why you're enjoying delicious treats with another man. You'll explain, but, it won't matter. It will be too late. Then, you'll break up, and realize that it wasn't meant to be. Actually, I really don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

My Interests

"Did you ever notice that in the Bible, whenever God needed to punish someone, or make an example; or whenever God needed a killing, he sent an Angel. Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole existence spent praising your God, but, with one wing dipped in blood. Would you ever really want to see an angel?"
